Sending Up A Flag

[redbrunja]

I know that a lot of people are with family or glued to the Yuletide website, but if anyone wants to get a conversation going, feel free to comment!



I admit, right now I'm also slowly sampling the Yuletide offerings, as well as doing such fascinating tasks as reducing the number of tabs I have open in Chrome, listening to fanmixes, and answering e-mails. (Which is, frankly, exactly what I want to be doing right now. I've got my feet up and a comfy chair and internet, who could ask for more?)

I'm glad you're enjoying the evening! I am mostly working my way through Yuletide right now, but my mom has on The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, so I'm also kind of half-watching that. Have you found anything really good so far? I just read this completely hilarious Emperor's New Groove story (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2013/works/1095646).

The stand-out so far is this (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2013/works/1094158), which I only read because tielan recc'd it.

I'd poking around on my HD seeing if there is any media I'm interesting in watching, and killing time until I can fall asleep.

Ooh, thanks, I'll take a look at that.

I hope you find something fun to pass the rest of the time!

That sounds like a really nice way to spend the day! I love quiet Christmas mornings.

What do you most want to see out of the new Black Widow single?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

What I most want is what I think we're going to get, which is a very Natasha-centric Natasha's career-based series. I hope that they manage to add in Natasha's penchant for saving other ladies, to boot. You? What are your hopes?

Everything I've seen so far is encouraging *knocks on wood*. And seconded on the author remembering Natasha as a champion for women and girls.

I think what I'm really hoping for is a good balance between plot and character-focused stuff. As much as I adore Hawkeye (which is the format they're looking to for inspiration for Black Widow), my concern is that not every writer has the ability to make that as interesting as Fraction does.

Very true. More plot than Hawkeye, less than Captain Marvel.

Honestly, I STILL have not worked my way through all the recs, to get to just going through Yuletide by fandom.

Omg, Yuletide was not even on my radar, so thank goodness for this post! \o/ I've just come across a lengthy Sleepy Hollow/Elementary fic, whee! *flails*
